Globe article making a possible case for Babcock for Jack Adams. At first I laughed, but I guess if he could take them to the playoffs he would certainly receive strong consideration.

Too often in recent years the Jack Adams has gone to a one-off: a coach whose underdog team had a fluky, percentage-driven run to success that wasn’t going to be sustainable the next season. The last three winners – Paul MacLean, Patrick Roy and Bob Hartley – all fit that description.

Thought this comment was interesting. A season is 82 games and I think this diminishes those coaches accomplishments over a long season. What they do next year shouldnt mean they had a "flukey" season, at least in my opinion.Thoughts?
